Dear Alumni and Friends:

I wish to thank all of you who have responded to my letter which appeared in the December Bulletin. Your encouragment and support are greatly appreciated. I am sure you are aware of what is happening to many of our in¬ stitutions of higher learning. Last year 21 colleges were forced to close because of the financial crisis they faced; 23 other col¬ leges were no longer able to maintain themselves as separate insti¬ tutions and sought to merge with other schools. At Atlanta University there is a great need for more and larger scholarships and fellowships, as you would expect at a graduate institution. In the case of faculty and staff, salaries are in jeopardy, and it is difficult to discuss growth, expansion and new programs when we are trying to hold the line. Yet Atlanta University must expand, must attract and keep quali¬ fied faculty and staff, and must continue to maintain good teaching and research if it is to remain a quality institution. Within the past ten years, Atlanta University has almost doubled its faculty. Currently there are about 50 governmental and founda¬ tion programs on campus. We are not running a little red school house ; we are trying to maintain a university, and we need your support. In the past, we have depended greatly on foundation and govern¬ mental grants for our financial support. But this support is limited, and in many instances it has decreased. More and more foundations are asking, ' 'What support do you get from your alumni?' ' I feel that we must respond affirmatively.

Therefore, I am establishing a Century Club for those persons who contribute gifts of $100 or more to the university. In the next issue of the Bulletin I would like to announce the names of graduates and friends who have contributed this amount or more since the beginning of 1971. Several alumni have already contrib¬ uted, or pledged to contribute, this amount and more by December 31. We are also considering the possibility of establishing an Atlanta University One Thousand Club for those alumni wishing to contrib¬ ute $1,000 or more in unrestricted funds to Atlanta University. I hope that you will become a part of one of these efforts, or at least consider contributing to the Atlanta University Annual Alumni Giving Fund. Your giving will determine Atlanta University's ability to challenge the caliber of student and faculty member a quality institution deems essential.

Sincerely,

t, President
